Chapter 124: You're definitely willing to die for me, right?
Yun Shang's reaction was no reaction.
In the firelight, the man's porcelain-white face was expressionless, and his deep black eyes were as calm as an ancient well with no ripples.
The contrast with other people around him was striking.
The Prince Chen, standing to the side, also showed a look of worry in his eyes.
He glanced at the trap and said to the inside, "Tianyin, I have brought Yunshang. You will see him when you come out. I will send someone down to bring you up."
Soon, Wang Wanshu's questioning voice came from inside the trap.
"He really came? My cousin isn't lying to me, is he?"
Prince Chen said, "Whether I'm lying to you or not, you'll know once you come out."
"No! I don't want to!" Wang Wanshu refused outright. "I want Yun Shang to come down and save me. I'd rather stay here than go up there if I can't see him!"
Yu Wan: "..."
Is this some kind of Qiong Yao drama?
Prince Chen's brow twitched; he had probably furrowed his brow more than he had in the past twenty years.
He turned to look at Yun Shang, his face showing difficulty, unsure of where to begin.
Yu Wan glanced at Yun Shang.
How could this guy possibly agree to Wang Wanshu's outrageous request?
But to everyone's surprise, Yun Shang slowly said, "I will go down to save the princess."
Yu Wan was taken aback.
Prince Chen was also taken aback for a moment, but quickly replied, "You have been wronged this time, and I will definitely make it up to you."
Then he quickly ordered people to prepare ropes.
Yun Shang turned to meet Yu Wan's questioning gaze. He lowered his eyes slightly, leaned close to Yu Wan's ear, and whispered something that only the two of them could hear.
"wait for me."
"I will completely resolve this problem."
What do you mean?
Yu Wan was startled and before she could react, Yun Shang had already slid down the edge of the trap with the rope.
Inside the trap, Wang Wanshu hugged her knees, squatted in a corner, and stared longingly at the entrance.
Her heart skipped a beat when she saw a figure rapidly descending.
Upon seeing the other person's profile, a joyful cry escaped their lips.
"Cloud Cup!"
"You're really here!"
"I knew it, you must care about me."
Yun Shang paused for a moment after her feet touched solid ground before turning to look at Wang Wanshu, who was squatting on the ground.
His face was hidden in the shadows, making it impossible to see his expression.
Wang Wanshu only heard his clear and pleasant voice.
"How is the princess? Is she injured?"
Wang Wanshu stared straight at him, suppressing her joy, and shook her head, saying, "I hurt my leg, but seeing you here, I don't feel any pain at all."
"Is that so?" Yun Shang asked in a low voice, taking a step closer to Wang Wanshu.
Without hesitation, Wang Wanshu replied, "Yes, Yunshang, no one loves you more or cares about you more than I do. As long as you stay by my side, I will do anything for you."
“I am a princess, my cousin is Prince Chen, and my aunt is Consort Duan. I can give you power and status.”
"What Yu Wan can't give you, I can give you."
“I am more beautiful and of higher status than her. You should choose me, not her.”
Wang Wanshu poured out her heart, looking expectantly at Yun Shang.
After hearing these words, Yun Shang only said, "Is the princess truly willing to do anything for me?"
Wang Wanshu smiled and nodded, "Yes, I'm willing to do anything."
As she watched Yun Shang approach her, her heart began to race.
Was Yun Shang finally moved by her devotion?
Her cheeks flushed, and her eyes held a mixture of shyness and anticipation as she watched Yun Shang approach. She then proactively raised her arm—
However, the next second, she felt a gust of wind pass by her, and something icy cold landed on her neck.
A cool, calm voice suddenly rang in her ear, "Fine, if that's the case, then Princess, die for me."
Wang Wanshu's pupils contracted.
The words caught in his throat, "You—"
He wanted to kill me?!
It took Wang Wanshu a long time to finally squeeze out a few words, "You must be joking, how could you possibly bear to kill me..."
Yun Shang half-squatted beside her, his eyebrows slightly lowered, something churning in his dark eyes.
His voice was icy cold, "Why can't you bear to part with it?"
"Does the princess think I'm some kind and gentle good person?"
Wang Wanshu's pupils trembled, and she felt a sharp pain in her neck.
Her eyes were filled with terror.
The man's cold voice rang in her ears again, "Does the princess want to know how many people I've killed with this knife?"
"Your Highness likes me so much, but have you ever considered what kind of person I am?"
“You…” Wang Wanshu’s voice trembled, and she couldn’t utter another word.
She wanted to say that Yun Shang wouldn't point a knife at her, she wanted to say that Yun Shang was a cold-looking but actually very gentle person, but with a knife to her neck, she couldn't say any of these words.
"To be honest, Princess, your fondness for me has truly caused me a lot of trouble." He raised his head, a slight smile playing on his lips as he looked at Wang Wanshu. "For someone who repeatedly causes me trouble, I'm more inclined to deal with them myself..."
"Does the princess think it's a good way to die—to be accidentally pierced through the heart by an arrow left in a trap?"
Looking at Yun Shang before her, Wang Wanshu felt a chill creep through her body.
Under the pale moonlight, the man's porcelain-white skin appeared even paler. His eyes were cold, his brows held a fierce air, and the smile on his lips looked even more eerie and terrifying.
Fear gripped almost every organ in Wang Wanshu's body; she shook her head in terror, "No, no—"
"Doesn't the princess like me?" Yun Shang chuckled. "Since the princess likes me so much, she must be willing to die for me, right?"
"Does the princess not want to stay by my side forever?"
Wang Wanshu wanted to say "I want to," but when she met Yun Shang's cold gaze, the word "I want to" just wouldn't come out.
Yun Shang seemed oblivious to the fear in her eyes and continued, "I know a way to keep the princess by my side forever, so beautiful."
Wang Wanshu tried to back away in fear, but at that moment, Yun Shang suddenly grabbed her chin and fed her something into her mouth before she could react.
Wang Wanshu was terrified and didn't even care about the knife in her neck. She desperately tried to slit her throat with her hands.
"What...what did you feed me?!"
Yun Shang withdrew his hand, toying with the gleaming dagger, and said with a light laugh, "It's nothing, just a poison that can make the princess die silently in her sweet dreams."
"Princess, rest assured, once you die from poisoning, no one will discover that you died from poisoning."
"Once the princess dies and is buried by Prince Chen, I will exhume her body and use medicine to prevent it from decaying, preserving her most beautiful side. In this way, the princess can stay with me looking this beautiful for the rest of her life."
Yun Shang slightly raised her eyes, looked at Wang Wanshu's terrified expression, and smiled slightly, "Is the princess satisfied now?"
